The Biofuels Digest website recently featured a special report on the status of jatropha biodiesel development in many countries. The report portrays a scenario of progress that is not going as smoothly as envisioned. Among the issues mentioned are : (1) the "hype that cites jatropha's "poor soil" tolerance and high yields without noting that jatropha survives, but hardly thrives, in very poor soil", (2) lack of mechanical harvesters, (3) lack of adequate soil testing in the rush to plant. The report looks into the situation in countries like China, India, Myanmar, Haiti, as well as the situtation in companies, such as D1 oils.
